After dark, the city falls silent.

Some neighborhoods are the opposite, but they are even more lively.

The whole street is full of magic stone lamps, the color of the lights is very charming, mainly blurry pink, this is the red light district of Reims, Rose Street.

In this alley, there are many bars.

The bar is not just a place to drink, but more like a huge salon, where countless escort girls shuttle back and forth in the bar, most of them are young and beautiful, gorgeously dressed, and compete for beauty, just like a hundred flowers in spring.

Highlander Bar.

The so-called highlanders, that is, another name for the Slavians

More than 2,000 years ago, the barbarian highlanders swept down the northern wasteland in canoes, and the northern part of the French Empire was ruled by these highlanders for a period of time.

Therefore, the northerners of the French Empire were more blond and blue-eyed.

These are the characteristics of the Slavians.

Therefore, the northerners and southerners of the French Empire are like two species, the northerners are blonde and blue-eyed and tall, while the southerners are black-haired and black-eyed, with some of the characteristics of the southern Armu.

The dispute between the north and the south was also the daily life of the French Empire.

In the eyes of the people of the imperial capital in the north, all southerners are hillbillies, so they call the south a province, which is extremely arrogant.

Throughout the Rose Street, the Highlander Bars are relatively low-level, not only can they not compare with the Moulin Rouge Bars, which are said to have been haunted by aristocrats for a long time, but also with the large and medium-sized bars with many gentlemen.

Most of the people who come in and out of here are sailors and gang members.

The gang members are in charge of policing Rose Street.

That's right, the gangsters are more concerned about the security of Rose Street than the police, after all, every bar has to pay them a fee, even the Moulin Rouge, yes, the Moulin Rouge has a deep background, and is not afraid of the so-called gangsters, and the reason why they pay some fees is nothing more than to avoid some trouble, after all, it is somewhat inconvenient to take a sledgehammer to beat flies.

It is also impossible for the gang members to wander the streets, and in that case, some customers who are afraid of trouble will not come to the door.

However, there is a problem with this.

When trouble arises, the gang members must be the first to arrive and solve the problem.

So, there was the Highlander Bar.

The gangsters also stay in the bar, drinking, chatting and gambling when they have nothing to do, flirting with the waitress, and once something happens, they will rush out as soon as possible to solve the trouble.

The reason why the name of the bar is Highlander is that it has nothing to do with Highlander.

That's the nickname of the gang boss who runs the street, and this guy named Baker is extremely ruthless, and, it is said that his combat effectiveness is amazing, and he can fight dozens of strong men alone, so he has that nickname.

Ryan's second cousin, James Bell, is a part-time bartender at the Highlander Bar.

At a wooden table, James was talking with a fluttering eyebrow, and across from him, a guy was holding a wine glass, and it was obvious that he was not listening to James, and his attention was all on the plump buttocks of the waitress in the short skirt in front of him.

James' appearance is very similar to Lonzo Bell, the only difference is that he does not have that hooked nose, and the whole person is not as pretentious as Lonzo, and he does not have the kind of seriousness that pretends to be.

On him, there was a sense of joy, and there was a frivolity floating between his eyebrows like a seal carved on it.

Have fun today!

This is James's life motto.

Of course, as a member of the Bell family, this guy also has an innate cunning, which is revealed in the rolling eyes when he speaks.

Ryan appeared in front of him with a cane.

After a while, James spotted Ryan, and he immediately dropped his companion, tilted his head, and looked Ryan up and down, with an exaggerated smile on his face and a slurp in his mouth.

"Who is this? young gentleman. ”

Ryan wears a top hat, a pair of black trousers, very well-cut, a pair of black leather shoes made of calfskin under his feet, a three-piece suit on the upper body, a white shirt, a gray vest, a black jacket, a lapel pinned to the collar of the shirt, a black silk top hat on his head, and a beautiful cane in his hand, about a meter long, which looks very valuable.

Just two or three hours ago, this gentleman's outfit worth a dozen louis was hanging in the shop of a tailor's shop.

"Little Ryan, did you sign that contract?"

James jumped off the barstool and punched Ryan on the shoulder.

Ryan took a half-step back, and although James's fist hit him in the shoulder, it actually didn't have any force at all.

He smiled coyly and shook his head.

"You don't want to live anymore?"

James' eyes widened.

Without waiting for Ryan to reply, he continued.

"Let's go, let's go out and say, it's too noisy here!"

After a while, the two walked out of the Highlander Bar.

Along the way, James kept greeting people, these people didn't look like good people, their expressions were fierce, their faces were hideous, they looked like gangsters, and they greeted James, and one or two of these people occasionally nodded their heads, which was considered to be a response, but most of them were indifferent, completely ignoring him, and not paying attention to a nobody like him.

James is actually not an official gang member of the Highlanders, he can only be regarded as a periphery, and after so many years, he is most proud of the fact that he once talked to the Baker boss nicknamed the Highlanders.

He mixed a glass of wine for the boss and said, "Enjoy."

Boss Baker nodded at him.

This is the first version he bragged about to Ryan.

He said this to Ryan several times, and the content was different each time, at first, Boss Baker just nodded, and later, it became Boss Baker who put his arm around his shoulder affectionately and said, look at him!

He's a guy who likes to brag and takes it as reality in his self-delusions.

"Something good happened to you, didn't you?"

James kept looking at Ryan, his eyes full of envy.

"If there's anything good, don't forget my second cousin!"

"I found a new job with a relatively high monthly salary, but the steward required us to dress neatly and cleanly, and also gave us a special purchase fee, which is really distressing and happy to spend!"

Ryan pursed his lips and said.

"What job? You didn't do it at Williams?"

James looked surprised.

"It's a long story, but I'll talk about it when I have time...... By the way, where are all those things my mother left behind?"

"Oh!"

James paused for a moment, blinked, his gaze took away from Ryan and landed on the street corner, and after unconsciously turning back, he sniffed and spoke.

"A few months ago, when the rain was pouring down, the basement was flooded, and those things were taken out of the basement along with other miscellaneous items, and now, in a rented warehouse. ”
